US Senate Rejects Bid to Limit Trump's Iran War Powers

The US Senate rejected a resolution on September 24, 2026, that would have curbed President Donald Trump's ability to order military strikes on Iran. The measure was Democratic-led and aimed to reassert congressional war powers. The vote came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly that Iran's 'evil regime will fall.' Separately, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi discussed Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
